How do you put slats back in?
Do bed slats need to be screwed down? If the slats are installed in sections, and only go halfway across the frame, they’re susceptible to sagging. If the slats don’t attach to the side rails, but simply rest on a lip, they’re more likely to sag. Slats should be secured with screws or by some other method.
